Suspicions were further heightened when she posted a message on Twitter inviting followers to meet her at 6.30am for an early morning party – some people believed her so-called kidnappers were using her to lure fans and it would be dangerous to attend.

She held a live stream intending to put fans at ease, but it only stoked up the fire as many viewers found supposed ‘clues’ of her abduction in the video.

Her reassurance wasn’t enough to deter the conspiracy theorists, who kept #SaveMariaJoyce trending for several more hours.
